EL Philip jEUia : It's That Way In our writing of qualifications for connectional positions in the Church, don't" understand us to say what they should be, but what they really are. There are some considerations in the church that persons with no financial rat ing will :noYer receive. ' The post of Financial ?Secretary ?in our church was filled with a man ?vhf had plenty of money, Prof. A. S Jackson. Rev. L. H. Hemingway ... our new Church Extension See-re tary was a man of'means. Dr. G E. Curry of the Book Contern ,.had money plus; and Dr. E. A. Adams, our new, Educational Secretary was well prepared from a monetary viewpoint. I know of an aspirant for ore" of the above positions on the grounds that he was in poor circumstances. But I for the same reasons he was over, whelmingly defeated. The argu. ment of the poverty stricker ?Christ fthd His disciples will not help Negroes to be bishops and general officers in the chyrch today. In fact Christ may have been the poorest of the poor, yet he certainly was the richest of the rich. Men who have not accumulated anything in a life time, the office "of bishcxp and the others mentioned in this text is a temptation to steal, rob and embezzle. It's equivalent to putting a hambone before a hungry bull dog and not expect him to eat it. But there need be but little worrk a. bcnit aspirants who have nothing since Jesus hath said: "for whoso. ever hath, to him shall be given: , and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemcth to have." Allen's New Head , / '_! * i in uuiuniuiii last wecK we called to see Dr. S. R. Higgins < recently elected head of Allen University. We learned that the , school is running in high gear at { .its early beginning. The campus is crowded with new students, and the old cmes are returning daily I .ant sure this is .encouraging news, to our church throughout the" state. I was informed that President Higgins, in addressing the facultyjott its first meeting, a> sured them that he was not a president of a faction, but of all ? The^-statc needi~Jus~t such a mgfr" for a time like this. And believe me if Dr. Higgins continues this policy he will be one of our best presidents, and Allen will be one among our greatest schools. There is no doubt but that some in the state,went to the limit in supporting him. While we have nothing to say against them for standing by him, making him the leader for the people. I can't believe that they wanted him president ^ simply to cater to him but for the best interest of the state. 1 Should he fail it would be a re. flection upon them. And for him tc ' succeed he must have the full Cooperation of the state from Green 1 ville to Charleston. The president 1 can always remember them, and * do what he can for them in a pri ^ vate way. He can go further than that, he can vote for them with a secret ballot jf he-'so desires or should there come an opportunity. But all of them know he cannot < make campaign speeches for them , as thdy did for him. They should t not want to make the president ( unpopular by such undertakings. ( They had their respective dis- ( tricts, and churches to support ^ them. But Allen's president must r be supported "by The" state which ; includes all facions. After all if j an aspirant cannot poll a suffici y ent number of votes to reach his < ambition without pulling the pres n ident inter an open fight, his one vote will be of very little service n Dr. Higgins is now president of s \all. So let's make his administra- i tion a success by keeping him out of factions. ? g p Conferences and Delegates f The consensus of opinions a- w mong the pastors seem to be that a ^ t 1: x ,f 1 ' ui BermiiiK iwo presiding eincrs e< and one pastor. This would b o tl the same were the presiding el- ^ ders to be in the trenches. Honors u are So few in our . church that cl there e&n be nothing wrong i n v< sharing them around. It's an hon- d; err to be a presiding elder. And if te we are willing for them to be n they should whack up. Let one di pastor go to the General Conference, or let one mount the "Gray" ar A General Conference composed ly of presiding elders, general officers ' ind bishops would be unprecedented. The Palmetto Conference wants a delegation that will stand for the return of Bishop J. S. Flipper,'and the election of Dr. T V.?Miles, to the?office of biahop_. That's not only the conference wishes, but the Old Gray's also Honors and Men of Merit C The Palmetto Leader Publishing Company at Columbia is a concrete example of Mr. George H. II a ?- i. " iiitiiii'iuu s uuiiuy 10 manage me Book Concern of the A. M. E. Church. Persons seeing the machinery of both houses say that 1 of The Leader is far superior. Notwithstanding the whole Connection is at the disposal of the Book. Concern. Further speaking of honors, both ministers and layim tubers are inclined to believe that a local church is highly honored t(; have a representative in' thOv, Coiieral?Cunfelencu whether ' ministerial or lay. No local church could rightly expect?two, when other churches have none, which must pay in proprotion their equal share of expenses to that body. That just doesn't seem clear through my glasses. 1 am of the pinion that it would appear thy .-a me way to others^ were they in the race.. In as much as honors arc so lew, not only men, but churches will have to be-content, cil with sharing them around. -In connection with our solicitation of subscribers this year, The Palmetto Leader is offering the great est opportunity for its readers to receive national recognition, than at any time in the history of .South Carolina.

C.. October 3? Faqta and figures about Negro mi_ gration from rural districts are fciven in the report on "Rural Migration in the United States", just published by the Division of Re l/lO * /-?V* V* _ Afl' D??A lArtf O A ministration Negroes took a large part in the great migratory movement from rural areas that went on in the de cade from 1920 to 1930. About one in every nlne migrants from rural areas was a Negri. Moreaver, many of the whites who migrated were old people, retiring and villages. It was ISrgely Whole families of Negroes that migrated, in what resembled a mass depopulation of some rural listricts. And the Negro migrants moved chiefly from Southern farm areas to large Northern cities^ They- were not retiring, but seeking work and a better livelihood. During the depression the migration of both Negroes and whit es from rural areas slowed down and almost -\jto"pped because of the lack of jobs rn Oifties. There has been a movement "back to the farm*, but Negroes are no* largely represented in this movement. Negro youth and white youth are both--bottled up in ru_" ral are^s where there are few Jobs, and inadequate opportunities for getting an education. It is in the rural districts in which the birthrate is highest that economic conditions are usually poor est. Migration from these rural regions "believes the strain in periods when there are jobs to be had in our cities. But under depression "onditixms, -migratioTT alone?offer? no panacea for the problems of rural areas. Corrington GiL As lisiant Commissioner of the Wi?A who is in cnarge of WPA research and statistical work, says in his introduction to this deport that many concerted efforts are needed to relieve the conditions of these rural areas^ Corrington Gill, Asited number, he suggests, is one apprimcn to a solution of rirra' problems, but only "in combination with effort? to improve the social and economic conditions of rural people where they are, and vith a declining birthrate". -The -report on "Rural Migration n the United" States" was prepar ?d under the drection of H.
